[j-nsp] Internet routes in MPLS network, global table or own VRF?

Ups, I meant PLR, of course.

Seems like you confuse FRR (aka local repair) with secondary LSP path. FRR
path setup is initiated by P routers, when the primary and secondary LSP
paths are initiated by head-end PE. FRR detour only holds until IGP
recalculates a new path (doesn't much matter with or without TE), which can
(and very probably will) not even include the P router, acted as a point of
local repair after failure.
